If I'm being honest, my first exposure to this album was the Criminal music video when I was a teenager. I didn't hear the full album until I was an adult and I definitely think it would have been lost on me in my younger years. This is a fantastic album and the performances are very strong. Criminal does seem a little out of place compared to the rest of the album, and it's particularly noticeable coming after Shadowboxer, which might be my favorite Fiona track. An album I'm really glad I've gotten into as it is definitely one that rewards repeat listens and is a classic.
My favourite album of here’s. Frighteningly precocious and mature way beyond her years on this debut album.
In Tidal I hear the sound of someone who is forced into maturity and into seeing the darkness that can exist, and still being able to claim their place and power in that world. 5/5
Nice album, good singer. Not really sure what to say, as with all the albums before and all albums after, I have listened to this once and put down my thoughts during the play through. Forgettable to be honest. If there were half stars I would go 2.5, but there aren't so... 2 / 5 stars.
Love Fiona! 5/5
